Application filed January 10, 1930. Serial No. 419,918.

play and sale of eatables, such as nut meats and other small articles, and has ,e pecial reference to the method of making the bags, the present application being a combination case to an article application filed by me of even date herewith. i

Another object of the present invention is to provide a simple, novel and economical method of making bags of'the above character, which may be arranged in an attractive i display, and which will keep their contents fresh for a relatively long period.

With the above and other objects in View', the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the acconpanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings p Figure 1 is a plan View of a blank or sheet which forms the body of the bag.

Figur-e 2 is a similar View of the bottom closure strip. 4

Figure 3 is a plan view showing the bottom closure strip in position and the sheet partly folded.

Figure 4 is an edge View of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a plan view showing the sheet completely folded.

Figure 6 is a like View of the completed bag.

Figure 7 is an end view of the same. ?0

Figure 8 is a sectional View on the line 8-8 of Figure 6.

Referring tothe drawings in detailwherein like characters ofreferencc denote cor- -responding arts, the reference character 10, indicates a lank or sheet of material used to form the body of the bag. This sheet is of thin, tough, transparent material of a flexible character, so that it may be readily folded and may bemade of cellophane or other pyroxyline material. v

45 In the manufacture of the bag use is also This invention relates to bags for te dismade of a strip 11 of relatively heavy stifl material, and this strip is preferably provided with an oflset portion or extension .12 at 'one edge. The strip 11 is of a length equal to the width of the finished bag and s placed upon the sheet 10 along one edge and centrally of the length of the sheet as shown in Figura 3 of th' drawings. One side of the sheet 10 is then folded over upon the strip 11 as shown at 13 in F igures 3 and 4 and the opposite side of the sheet is then folded inp ward upon the strip 11 with the edges of the sheet overlapped as indicated at 14 in Figure 5 of the drawings. The side edges 15 thus provided, are creased and staples 16 and 17 are passed through the body of the bag and through the strip 11 as shown in Figures 6 and 7 of the drawings. The strip 11 thus forms a closure for one end of the bag.

The overlapped edges 14 are, then Secured together by a suitable ,adhesive as indicated at 18 so that a tubular body or bag is formed which is open at its upper end.

The ba is especially designed for the reception o nut-meats and like small articles 7 and by providing the offset portion 12 and se- 'curing the body of the bag thereto by means of the staple 16, the contents of the bag are prevented from falling downward sufliciently far to reach the upper edge of the strip 11, so that the lower end of the bag will not be unduly bulged or distorted. .Display or advertisng matter may be placed upon the strip andas the transparent material of which the bag body is formed will thus lie fiat upon the face of the strip, the said advertising or display matter will not be distorted, but will present an attractive appearance and may be plainly read.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of Construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claim. 00

Having described the invention what is claimed s The herein described method of makin display bags consisting of pla'cing a stri o relatively stif material upon a sheet of exible transparent material, foldn said sheet over the ends of the strip' with t e edges of the sheet overlapped, creesing the sheet to provide a. flat tubular body, stitchng the ma- 0 terial of the body to the strip so that the letter will form an' end closure, and glng the overlapped edges of the sheet.

In testimony whereof I afii-x my signature. HERMAN B. LAYMON.
